Your band has to own a bus for it to automatically take you. I thought I heard somenody say that you guys are still saving for your bus? If so, that means you have to move to the travel route and hitch a ride. Once you have a band vehicle, you should go to "Priorities and Skills". At the bottom of the page you'll see an option to go with the tour bus or not.

mark: a tour bus costs 7200$ and the band only have around 3000$ actually... We should buy a tour bus in one or two weeks...if our shows aren't all cancelled!

With you in NYC, someone hospitalized, and 2 other that aren't connected for some days, we'll only be 2 members for our next show! So i guess the show will be cancelled.

As long as you have two members the show won't fail; so the money and your reputation in the area and at the club is more important so I wouldn't cancel. I think Mark should be able to make it in and keep in mind people knew we had today off on the tour; TDG isn't even leaving B.A. for another several hours and we're set to get it at 9am... B.A. to S.P. is only 6 hrs; so don't panic.

Okay, with the Tour hitting the second half it's actually time to think forward again to getting the next set of bookings done to give us max time to sell tix.

TDG took an invite show in LA so I've booked us a mini US/MEX/CAN sweep surrounding it and in the break we'll be recording our follow-up single. After that we have a gap before that comp in London I want us to be at top form for so it makes things a bit odd.

I think maybe we should just continue to hang in NYC and record stuff, the use the London show as the first stop on the completion of our World Tour? Having to follow the travel routes makes scheduling wierd but if we did start in London we'd have time to book a bunch of tix to back in NYC for a show, then we could work our way to our uncharted spots. Looking at the map it seems like this would be best (timewise it would be about as long as we were out for this leg of the tour, give or take a few days):

London (Comp)

NY

Nash

Sao Paolo

Buenos Aires

Melbourne (this is where the first time we went to Porto instead and then through Europe)

Moscow

Talinn

Vilnius

Dubrovnik

Istanbul (*shudder*) But, pending them adding more towns before then this would complete our World Tour

Then we'd swoop back through some we missed this set:

Rome (was on very first tour only)

Madrid (They LOVE us in Spain! This gives us a big juicy show along the way)

Porto (was on very first tour only)

Rio (the other half of Brazil as we played S.P. early on)

Mexico

Los Angeles (maybe we can get The Bowl booked again)

Nashville

Toronto (keep the Canadian fans happy)

Back home for a triumphant show in New York and party until we all OD or something lol

I'm all for keeping busy! I'd like a little bit of downtime in NYC too though. I really need to get my health up. I need to lock myself in my room for a bit or something and write? I've been skilling like crazy on tour. I just wish going to the gym improved my health better. Does one of the foods raise health without seriously hurting you after? I could get a health boost before shows, do my stagedive, and then repeat the cycle next show (if it's not too expensive).

Yeah, the fancy meals are 3-7% health with no downside, like 10ish bucks usually...

And we'd have quite a bit of time off in NYC here as basically we wouldn't be adding anything else to our current sched. until after the London show.

Cool. I'm going to see if I can find some fancy meals before out next gig. For some reason I thought those just gave a mood boost. Good to know I can get a health boost.

Tried some fancy meals health was 77% before and still 77% after so fancy meals didn't improve health any.

Post by **Minstrel** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 9:15 pm

Did I say health?

I screwed that one up... it's mood but they don't make your health go down afterwards like chocolates and gettin drunk do.

ACK! Anything do that with health? Maybe some protein shakes or something?

I've decided to go on a little European tour now that I can afford to travel by plane. My plan is to go Toronto-London-Paris-Barcelona-Madrid. I might add a couple of other destinations after Madrid if I can but I think in real life I will be busy from the beginning of April so I've chosen to finish my tour in Madrid on the 25th March (the idea of a tour came from being invited to Madrid for the 25th).

I plan to use the travel routes to get around most of the time. Although I'll return from Madrid to NY by aeroplane. I'll see how much money I have whether I could afford to fly Toronto-London or whether I'll do the mammoth trek by the travel route.

Here's my hectic show schedule:

Looks good Arch; that's the way to do it, bites at a time and try to hit as many countries as possible to get your worldwide fame working
